niwa Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Can torrents be faster using compression and a compression-flag? most torrents are only .rar, would they be faster if programs compress them before uploading to peers and dht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 No, compression won't help speeds. Compressing already-compressed data doesn't cause any size improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 "Compression" can actually use more bandwidth...meaning LESS speed if the data's already highly compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
